I would also switch Kane and Ennis. I like how Kane played with Jack and Sam last year and think he can watch out for them while they are on the ice to make sure no one trys to take a run at one of them. I also think Ennis' skills would mess better with O'Reilly and Okposo.

I am going into the season assuming Bylsma is going to give the Foligno/Larsson/Gionta line a shot again. It certainly worked down the stretch, no reason to break them up yet. They earned the opportunity to be line three, but the third and forth lines are certainly interchangeable.

As for Risto/Kulikov, I will fix. Didn't swap before publishing.

Nelson will be in Rochester for fine tuning. No need to keep him in Buffalo if he is not playing all the time.

Same goes for Fasching. Justin Bailey earned the opportunity to take that spot on the roster. If Fasching outperforms Bailey and others, it'll be him on the opening night roster. I believe he needs some extra time in Rochester. At this point, a strong 15-17 minutes in the AHL a night is much better for Fasching than a mediocre 8-10 minutes a night in the NHL.

Kane/O'Reilly are exclusive, we saw that last year. Bylsma did not break them up, and I don't see a reason why he would now. No matter where Ennis plays, he is going to have to adjust his game. He needs the play to run through him but at this point, the play runs through Eichel on that second line. Will be very interesting to see how he adjusts to that.
